    Forgot Password for Windows 10 - No Rescue Disk


    How can I reset my password without having a rescue disk? I tried System Reset and Factory Reset, but without the password I can't do anything and my laptop is pretty much useless. I just got this laptop 2 weeks ago and I'd really like to start using it again. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated.

    :)

    Forgot Windows 10 password...

    So I fired up my laptop in order to use it to flash a router without mucking around with the rest of my networking... and I forgot the password to log in. Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling windows, or downloading a Linux LiveCD? (If I do have to download something, I'd prefer the file size to be as small as possible, because of evil data caps)
